Each year at the Royal Maundy Service, the Queen of England presents “Maundy money” to select members of the church. The number of coins handed out coincides with the age of the Queen. This year being the Queen’s 85th birthday, she gave coins to 85 men and 85 women. The men and women are selected for their service to their community and church. This year our friend Hyacinth received one of the coins. You can see her in the video below. Look for the lovely lady in pink at 1:24. Several other friends from our church were in attendance to support Hyacinth and our pastor’s mother (who also received a coin this year.) You can read more about the event here: Royal Maundy Service.
That’s so cool! Yeah Hyacinth and Rosie 🙂
